'''Featured articles''' are considered to be the best articles on SmashWiki, as determined by our editors. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at featured article candidates for accuracy, completeness, and style. A small, stylised ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo with a star on an article's page indicates that the article is featured, or has been featured in the past. | |||

== | ===[[Roy]]=== | ||
=== | Roy is arguably one of the most popular Smash characters (and was one of two most wanted veterans to return to Smash, alongside Mewtwo). Additionally, Marth and Roy both contributed to bringing Fire Emblem to the western audiences, making their inclusion in Melee a very smart decision on Sakurai's part. Honestly, as I think about it, I don't know anyone who DOESN'T know who Roy is. Even some of my non-Smash playing friends know who he is.

===[[ | ===[[Alternate costume (SSB4)]]=== | ||
I believe this is worthy of featured article considering how many characters there are in the game with each one having at least 8 alternate costumes (400+ costumes) with almost each one coming from (or likely referencing) costumes from their respective universes, while being able to accurately inform in great detail where those swaps originate from and filtering out information that is too speculative or just plain false. Also, Brawl's was featured.

: | :'''Weak oppose'''. Too much debate surrounding it, and tbh if someone actually looked into it I bet you 50% of the costumes listed there are really huge stretches. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

: | :Yes, I also have some...concerns with this page.

:: | :I would say 50% is a huge exaggeration considering it has been gone through multiple times by multiple people since it was made and, from what I could see, I haven't seen a one time removal of mass false information. Which indicates to me that this article has been well kept up on the info being added. Yes, the occasional false info sometimes comes, but nothing major that hasn't been fixed somewhat quickly.

Short, to the point, gives all necessary information without overdoing it.

:::'''Weak support'''. It's an okay-written article, but given that it's arguably relevant to Smash (the only things Iwata has over Tatsumi Kimishima is that he was somewhat involved in the creation of Smash Bros. and was featured in the Mii Fighters' trailer), I don't know if it really should be on SmashWiki (not I'm going to suggest deletion, but) much less featured. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|<font color="magenta">cupid♥</font>]].

::::'''Obligatory Support''' Iwata definitely was a big part of Nintendo; which means he was ''directly'' a part of smash. Terrible puns aside, he did quite a bit of coding for 64 and Melee if I'm not mistaken. One problem I see here is that it might be too little, too late. Perhaps opening scabby emotional wounds of the past isn't such a good idea.
